I am a bit prickly on that topic ... I have grown mightily sick of "ministers of music" who view the Holy Mass as their plaything, and equally sick of spaghetti spined pastors who let them get away with it.

Down with OCP!!!

In the spirit of full disclosure, we also played "Nina Bonita" at a Quinceanera (15th birthday) Mass, although it's a pop song about a father's love for a daughter.

Our current pastor doesn't do these services because the observance of the 15th birthday is not a sacrament, although he allows (following Communion, before the final blessing) a bit of time for the presentation of a baby, a 3-year-old, or a 15-year-old daughter, as well as the blessing of household religious articles.
